WHY

limpid birch
#

just infinitely chain cds

#

karton MW healing has become painful in some dungeons after rm nerf

#

u cant indef extend env anymore

#

u actually need mana now

still pagoda
#

i don't have any other char with healing spec at 120

limpid birch
#

but

still pagoda
#

not on Kazzak

limpid birch
#

^ all the healing

modern brook
#

Every mw ive ever played w/ needs to drink after a 3 pack

#

IDK if they're just massively overhealing or what

limpid birch
#

^ bad usage of WOTC

modern brook
#

but its made me never want to play the spec

limpid birch
#

well

#

WOTC is omega healing but also 25k mana

#

used well= never drink

#

used bad= alcoholic

still pagoda
#

WotC eats 25% of your mana

#

right away

limpid birch
#

yes

still pagoda
#

you can just mana tea it and pray for everything to go well

limpid birch
#

just play crane for mana

#

like

#

crane talent in manatea row

#

and ull be fine if ur grp doesnt need their ass wiped every 2 sec

still pagoda
#

i still lack weapon and one trinket

modern brook
#

on MW?

limpid birch
#

still pagoda
#

#

I like my ass wiped regularly tyvm

still pagoda
#

i've only started getting gear for MW

modern brook
#

Karton's still following laws lol

still pagoda
#

and the only thing i have is SotS trinket

modern brook
#

gotta get that claw brother.

limpid birch
#

you definitely NEED claw.

#

claw after wotc and ull be 90+% maan

#

if u started with 100

modern brook
#

Claw is probably my favorite trinket period.

limpid birch
#

claw is also best trinket period

still pagoda
#

@limpid birch

limpid birch
#

anz difference in what

still pagoda
#

and LPS in the second trinket slot

#

in healing. Since 3k int is somewhat "big"

#

compared to agi polearm

limpid birch
#

u def want an int weapon

#

also its been bugging me. the rule is Ilvl over stat. i got 2 rings thate are 475 but have imo poor stats. all im loosing is some stamina for say a little bit of mastery. would it not be worth keeping the 465s? with haste vers?

still pagoda

it is actually 1-8 1-8 rotations

so it's good

i hafve 475 Loop and overseers

so keep them?

sweet summit

yeah they are very good

trim bay

#

and why does noone stack the haste corruption if its our go to stat? i have lived under a rock im sorry

those new bracers put me at td2. IFT2, and haste 18%. those are my highest ilvl bracers

i have IFT1 and TD1 in my bags

+48 CR total

the 18% haste is 3 rank 1s

wooden drift
#

Hey guys quick question if I have r3 TD alrdy is it worth getting a couple IT now that they are up and cheap since TD 1 or 2 won’t be up for a bit

sick sentinel
#

What i think the plan is, is remove IFT2 for IFT1, maybe remove 6% haste and add td1 for td3

warm plinth
#

@wooden drift Yeah it's worth it

sick sentinel
#

I just want to make sure that i am doing this correct and don't corrupt the wrong shit

wooden drift
#

@warm plinth thanks!

bronze patrol
#

Dumb question, I see a lot of people taking the Azerite trait Overwhelming Power. But it says it removes stacks when hit... which seems bad?

sweet summit
#

it has an internal cooldown

internal cooldown preventing stacks from falling off too quick

bronze patrol

Ah

Well that makes sense. Thanks!

What’s more important? Vers 3 or IT1? I can get 7 vers 3 and 1 IT 1 or 6 vers 3 or 2 IT1

whats better meticulous scheming or clockwork heart

tame garden
#

ty

sick sentinel
#

@flat jackal you’ll want the two ITs most likely. Vers% is largely irrelevant unless you are running a high vers build. You probably won’t use 6-7 of them

flat jackal
#

I’m planning on running high vers. Yes I’ll be doing 25+

sick sentinel
#

Still probably won’t use 6-7 of them

sweet summit
#

id take the 2 ineffables

sick sentinel
#

Same bop

#

6xvers r3 2x inef 1x vers r1 all slots done

TD4 exped2 ineff2 i am online

flat jackal
#

Will that be under 40?

sick sentinel
#

No

flat jackal
#

I don’t mind running thing from beyond

lofty widget
#

is the vers proc worth anything for those 25+ keys?

#

and if so, rank 2 or 3?

sweet summit
#

SV is good, just not reliable

#

vers% is up all the time

sick sentinel
#

If you want to stay under 40 then just go 5x vers r3

#

Yes there comes a point where SV will become valuable. I don’t have the math in hand though

ivory elbow
sick sentinel
#

Ah. Here it is

wary lantern
#

It should be in pins about SV

sick sentinel
#

The thing is not the problem, the slow can be annoying as fuck

sharp rover
#

For a defensive build, is it ideal to go full vers or to mix vers with expedient?

ivory elbow
#

Yeah i saw it in Naowh stream Xd he Said the thing from beyond doesnt Do much It’s the untimly Slow When you have to dodge shit

sick sentinel
#

If you are gonna use vers commit to it

#

@sharp rover

sharp rover
#

So 6/0 is better than 5/1 vers/exp?

sick sentinel
#

Naowh said he will try 1 inef - vers r1 +surge... New meta inc boys

flat jackal
#

@ivory elbow so do you recommend sub 40 or sub 50?

sharp rover
#

Also, for your vers spreadsheet, do you include vers from essences and procs in your baseline vers?

sweet summit
#

idk that sheet confuses me

#

math scares me

ivory elbow
#

@flat jackal do you mean corruption?

flat jackal
#

Yeah

sharp rover
#

@sweet summit the general takeaway is that versatile is better than sv unless you have very low verse base

ivory elbow
#

Here is the thing

sweet summit
#

whats low baste vers

gleaming rock
#

I want to purchase 2x ineff R1 right>?

sharp rover
#

Put your verse ibtk the spreadsheet and see

ivory elbow
#

I am not doing 25s yet i am at 21-22s with pugs

sharp rover
#

👍

flat jackal
#

Ah

ivory elbow
#

But When It comes to corruption It’s about How comfy you are

#

If u Can handle 59 corruption and still surivie and dodge shit go for it

#

But if u like It’s unplayable just go under 40

#

Considering you have 2 charges u Can charge to one ally But i am not big fan of those Slows becuase i got 1 shot to many times Because i couldnt move out of the corruption Slow xD

sand turret
#

In general, is it worth it to drop 5 ilvls for secondaries? ex: 475 crit/mast raid bracers vs 470 haste/vers

sweet summit
#

bracers? yeah fuck it

ivory elbow
#

@flat jackal i hope u got What i meant xd

flat jackal
#

I get you

#

I’ll play around with it

ivory elbow
#

Today i saw naowh and gingi dying to their corruption 2-3 times inting a 26 When They Can easly run through it like It’s a 15

Yeah thats the fun part playing with corruption xd prot warrior is fun When avatar and truth procs and u got a perma root on mobs

with my current Azerite setup I can either run 2 BoM/3 DC/1 bad trait, or 2/BoM/ 2 DC / 1 Iron Fortress / 1 bad trait

is swapping a DC for an iron fortress worth?

This week was a good chest week deswind

sick sentinel
#

@obtuse yoke you only want one dc

#

So yes

#

Especially if your shield isn’t 475

mortal phoenix

what? DC is like the best M+ trait for damage

sweet summit
#

what is 1 bad trait

warm plinth
#

Uh, no

#

No it's not

#

That hasn't been true since like season 2

sweet summit
#

its the best warrior specific trait to stack after BoM for aoe damage

sick sentinel
#

That’s a mouthful

#

Delete

obtuse yoke
#

on my other piece it's either DC or Callous reprisal 😦

sick sentinel
#

DC it is

obtuse yoke

or DC / dagger in the back

so kinda forced to stack DC i feel? but that's okay

so i am an arms war main with prot for off spec for running keys and stuff. nothing very high 16-17's as a tank. some higher as dps. till this point i just used my arms gear with haste on it and called it good but i noticed i am 90% haste in prot without combat buffs.... is that to high and should i lower haste to get TD for overall DPS or its not not a big deal?

sweet summit

@obtuse yoke not very good

Is expedient not worth it anymore for prot?

Gemming vers... but corrupting expedient peepostudy

i gemmed vers when it was my bis stat

it was my bis because I had 200 vers

how is haste bis

#

when my sims literally tell me to gem vers

#

We are not DPS

analog zinc
#

fuck you mean

sweet summit
#

for general defesive and offensive play, haste is "bis"

analog zinc
#

tanks are just bulky dps

still pagoda
#

Haste gives you much more

tardy moth
#

I was referring to balancing pieces across a prot/arms set

left hatch
#

usually when ppl talk about bis stats, they're referring to the defensive statline

still pagoda
#

Technically, the more stats - the better

tardy moth
#

and not going over budget because I put expedient on 'bis' pieces for both specs

left hatch
#

esp since sims are hyper specific

#

so literally any stat can be your personal 'bis'

for damage purposes

Yes but that point is independant of gear

nah

modern brook

its content based

vital stratus
#

have heroic on fullc lear, starting mythic in 2 weeks

#

for the most part top ilvl is all haste primary anyway, but could prioritize a diff secondary if i give up ilvl

modern brook
#

ilvl>haste for basically the entirety of m raiding tbh

vital stratus
#

ok so if haste == top ilvl, take it?

modern brook
#

if you have 2 pieces of 475 gear on the same slot, and one has haste and the other doesnt

#

you take the one w/ haste

sick sentinel
#

High ilvl is always top prio

vital stratus
#

how about a 460 ring with 452 haste (and secondary is mastery) or a 465 ring with 223 haste (351 vers)?

modern brook
#

which ever brings you more happiness, tbh

vital stratus
#

the 460 also has a socket, and a dmg proc...

modern brook
#

I'd take the haste/verse personally

#

do you have the other part of the dmg proc?

#

I hate gearing questions btw

vital stratus
#

it is one of the bit bands

modern brook
#

I dont want to play 21 questions with your gear 😠

trim bay
#

you need both

#

for it to proc

vital stratus
#

haah sorry bull

modern brook
#

no its ok

#

But like

#

ilvl > haste and then for small shit like that it really depends on your gear, whatyyou're doing etc

#

Ultimately, the difference between ~6 stats isnt going to decide if you down a boss or not

sick sentinel
#

You don’t know

#

An extra 6 vers might save me

modern brook
#

im p sure 6 verse isnt actually calculated

#

Im fairly certain thats below blizzard's sig figs

sick sentinel
#

You don’t know

#

My 6 vers pipes

modern brook
#

I was wrong sorry

#

6 verse is ~.07% increased damage == .035% dr

#

so its 2 magnitudes off from not being counted

sick sentinel
modern brook
#

so for every 10kDPS you deal, 6 verse provides an extra 7 dps

warm plinth
#

Whew

#

Big pumper

sick sentinel
#

meanwhile my TD crits for 500k per target :>

modern brook
#

350 damage bby

#

interestingly, over the course of a 5 minute fight thats an extra 2k damage

#

i mean thats treated as a 7dps dot w/a 5m duration but

#

still p cool

#

also i was wrong twice. Its just barely within sig figs; assuming shits still the same from like cata.

#

they only go to 5 decimal places; and .07% == x1.00007

#

so just barely hits it

How worth it is a piece that's not haste/versa but has at least one of those stats with leech

sick sentinel
#

First of all grievous is going to make any relatively hard pick feel harder

rose furnace
#

I'm looking to start pushing 20+ keys once I get the versa corruption set up

sick sentinel
#

Can push 20+ without it. But don’t sacrifice ilvl for leech

rose furnace
#

It's 475/470 pieces

sick sentinel
#

Leech is largely irrelevant. Nice to have, but don’t trade stats or ilvl for it

rose furnace
#

Looking at Floorpov's setup he has 460/465 pieces that have leech

#

I was just wondering how much it matters

rigid sinew
#

vers isnt something u should stack until 24s, leech isnt worth the ilvl sac

ionic fern
#

@upper violet ?

sick sentinel
#

Leech matters very little

ionic fern
#

It's the VERS that the items have.

#

They are stacking vers amps.

#

Meaning that any vers items gain value.

#

If those lower ilvl vers items happen to have leech on them it's just something extra.

sick sentinel
#

^ yeah in a true vers build people will sac ilvl for more vers

#

And when you play as much as people do at those levels you tend to have a lot of gear with tertiary stats

still pagoda
#

they did it

warm plinth
#

Wasn't the cloak upgrade thing already a thing? Pretty sure it's been 1 run per level since the last change

So they're basically just saying they haven't changed anything else.

It was yes.

@sick sentinel If you stand on the edge of that kind of band that goes around the middle, it can cause the spores to snap.

pallid berry

two really?

#

does that increase procs?

sick sentinel
#

alright, tank more in the middle?

pallid berry
#

increase rate of cd?

warm plinth

Well you shouldn't have to really change your position much; just make sure you or your group aren't standing on that edge

We usually stand just inside of it

proc rate doesn't change

yea i just notice it happen much more often when doing unbound with the fear guy, makes sense

pallid berry

so the amount of cd when it procs changes?

Yes

Can you TC every GCDwith a rank 2 IT or do you need the 60% versus 50% ?

sharp night

rank 2 is bad because it gives you less CDR for more corruption

#

although it takes 1 less slot but that isn't really an issue unless you're stacking stat% and not hitting corruption cap

novel ruin
#

Yes, thinking more late game

#

At max resist

sharp night
#

you can't even TC every GCD with 60% IT unless you have over 100% haste i think

ye you can't

sharp night
#

you need 100% IT right?

sick sentinel
#

Most people just "feel" like they can

sharp night

because it's base 6 sec cd which is 4 gcds, unstoppable force cuts it to 2 gcds
